The Calm After
The storm in my eyes has been silenced by the presence of your soul.
I close them tight and I pray and pray that I never let go.
Though we've only just met, I know you by heart.
Throughout lifetime's of separation, this now feels like the start.
I want to melt away with you inside our small heavenly sea.
As I peer into your spirit, all that I see is me.
I do not know where you came from.
I sometimes cannot believe that you are real.
My heart will allow me to do nothing,
but ride with how I feel.
You are my calming waters
though you scare me half to death.
Afraid to close my eyes
I catch myself holding my breath.
For if you disappear,
you will take away my dreams.
You have absolutely no idea,
what you already mean to me.
